- I felt a little feverish this morning, so in the afternoon when I went out for food I stopped in a MedExpress next door to see if I could get a low dosage prescription of amoxicillin. They've done it for me at that MedExpress before.The nurses who...
- Sorry to miss yesterday. I went to a concert, but it was too soon so I had a fainting spell there.
- I want to thank everybody who supported me through my hospitalization last month and through my convalescence at home following it. I was really good and stayed home and rested with a goal of going to a major league baseball game with friends on...
- Sorry to post again and hit the "I'm having a crisis" button. Apologies. Y'all know it's not like me to have two posts sitting close together on DS PTSD. I decided, though, I had to make an exception and ask for more help. I went out grocery...
- Finally, they released me from the hospital. It was an awful experience. Just one example: to check on how my recovery from pneumonia was progressing and my kidney disease recovery was progressing, they drew blood every 3 hours for...
- I stay on my own DS PTSD board every day, so it's all I know. It's moving along OK with new posts, new members, and replies every day. Today we had 11. How are other DS boards doing? I've heard some boards are moving, and some are not, but I...
- I've seen a lot of celebrity suicides reported in the news lately, like Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, in addition to people in my real life coming to me to talk them out of suicide personally. It's a great thing when somebody admits to being...
- Here we go...another family holiday that, with all of its good intentions, manages by accident to rub my face in the fact that my family memories aren't all warm and fuzzy. They're flashbacks of terror instead.TWMy untreated and mentally illfather...
- I joined Daily Strength in June of 2012 with great anxiety because my kidney doctor had told my psychiatrist that it was time to take me off of all psychiatric medications or else. I was down to 40% kidney function and dropping, and at 25%...
- In addition to CPTSD, I've lost 60% of my kidney function to another chronic illness, CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) so I have permanent nerve damage in both legs. I did physical therapy for it at my local hospital for a month in March, and I've...
- Thanks to all of y'all who were so good to me when I was laid up last week with my ankle sprain, housebound with nothing but Netflix for company. You encouraged me to watch the series Jessica Jones saying NPR's review wasn't kidding, that it was...
- Hey, all. Thanks for encouraging me through this sprained ankle episode this week. I've stayed in wearing an ankle brace since Tuesday so I could keep a guest speaker engagement tomorrow. To pass the time I turned to Netflix and stumbled upon...
- What a week it has been! A student died on campus last week and I led a memorial service for him last Thursday. Then I got semester grades in on time the next day. Now, on Monday I was working out at my gym. I've done well losing the 20lbs...
- Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms here at DS PTSD, and good wishes to all of the sons and daughters here who will be celebrating the day with their moms tomorrow.In no way do I post tonight on Mother's Day eve to put a damper on tomorrow's...
- Today we crossed that finish line of the school year at my community college. I'd written about anticipating the year's end last week, not ever imagining the week would be interrupted by the death of my student. Thanks for all of the support you...
